Adoree' Jackson

CB, USC

Despite the fact that star quarterback Tom Brady had to miss the first four games of the season due to suspension, the New England Patriots are once again representing the AFC in the Super Bowl this Sunday. Brady and his Pats teammates rode a 14-2 regular season record to home-field advantage throughout the AFC Playoffs, and they quickly dispatched of the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers. With one win standing between Brady and being the winningest quarterback in Super Bowl history, fans are certainly in for a good one on Sunday.

While the Patriots are pretty loaded across their roster, one area they could use some depth is in the defensive secondary. While they have their share of Pro Bowl players back there, bringing in some talent at cornerback looks to be a priority in April. Adoree’ Jackson of USC is one of the more electric players in this draft, and he would be a nice fit with Bill Belichick in New England.

Not only is Jackson a premier cornerback, but he does so much more, which is the kind of player Belichick likes. He can return kicks, where he is the all-time leading return man in USC history, and he also can play some wideout. There is no doubt that if he falls to New England at No. 32, Belichick would love to get his hands on a player who can impact a game in so many different ways.
